Abstract

A Helmholtz-type resonator for second sound may serve as a reliable and accurate tool for the determination of the velocity of second sound and the viscosity of liquid helium II. In this paper the theory of the resonator is given, and an analytic scheme is developed which allows for the determination of these quantities from measured resonance curves. In a second paper this method will be applied to our measurements in dilute 3He-4He mixtures in the temperature range between 100 mK and 650 mK.
